Profile Information

Hi all,
Matt Burkett is coming back to Richmond, CA to put on another 2-Day Practical Shooting class. The instruction will have a competition focus (IPSC, IDPA, etc.), but it will also cover much that is applicable to defensive pistol use.
For those not familiar with Matt, he is a national champion IPSC and 3-gun shooter who has been providing instruction and instructional DVDs for several years now. The words of one of his shooters sum it up nicely:
"This brings up an interesting aspect of training with Matt Burkett. While he’s a very talented instructor and a truly gifted competitor, his ability to instantly and accurately diagnose what you’re doing as you shoot might well be his most surprising ability. His unerring and repeated ability to stop a shooter, point out a small improvement, and immediately have accuracy go up, or time go down, was truly astonishing. Combine this with the fact that he shoots at the highest level the sport knows, and you’ve got an instructor who can take you the limit of your ability-in my case, even beyond what I thought I could ever do."
